Despite the "backtracking," I ended up liking DMC4 for the most, because I liked playing as Nero, and being able to switch Dante's Styles on the fly was really fun. After having played Dissidia 012 maining Lightning, performing Paradigm Shift combos made me go back and try to perform different "Style Swap" combos in DMC4. When it came to Styles, I really liked Trickster (until they got rid of Wall Running), but my being a fan of John Woo's HK flicks, I'll always default to Gunslinger, I loved both Twosome Time, and Rain Storm.

Actually...I really liked Rain Storm...

DmC is actually looking really good to me, too, and it might be another contender, just because it mixes in a lot of the stuff I love about the series, but then changes it up.
